Abstract

Terminal Pleistocene horticultural societies such as the Natufian complex of the Near East that domesticated wheat at c. 14,000 BCE were not alone in the world at that time. Recent interdisciplinary research show that past tropical Andean societies began to experiment with cultigens approximately 12,000 BCE i.e., somewhat coeval with other pristine cultures around the world.
